Kelsey is attending the Winter or "J" term this year at Union University in Jackson. It is a condensed class schedule that meets 5 days a week for 3 - 4 weeks for a full semester grade. She is taking Chemistry and a Chemistry lab.
Since many students move out over the Christmas break, students are allowed to live on campus during the J term for a nominal fee. Since Kelsey just had her shoulder surgery and can't drive for several weeks, she is living on campus for this term. Move-in day was January 1st. Needless to say this was a very different way than I normally spend New Year's Day. LOL However, since the BCS came along and UT had a bad year, there weren't many games I was dying to see that day anyway. HAHA We got up early and left about 6:15 or so and started moving her in around 9:30. We had to make several trips to get all the small items, but got her moved in successfully and classes started the next day. She was also taking a Sociology class, but physically could not get from one class to the next on time without losing credit for being there. A new section of the class opened for the Spring Semester, so she dropped it and will take it in the Spring.
We had some difficulties with the door locks, but she is now able to open her door one handed and has arrangements with the Safety & Security office to pick her up and take her to classes on days that it rains or snows. She will have the sling on for another 3 weeks, so by the time the next semester starts, she should be able to drive again and will be back at Christy and Phillip's house.
We came back home on the 3rd and got our Christmas decorations put away this past weekend. Courtney was excited to go back to school this week, but has enjoyed her time with everyone during the break. It has been a very exhausting last few weeks, but things are starting to settle down now.
I am still looking for a job and would appreciate your continued prayer support.
Thank you and Happy New Year.
